philosoraptor42Please tell me that I'm not the only person who thinks this sounds awful:
I mean seriously I don't need two versions of Terminator 2. They had the common sense to only put the special edition of Terminator 2 on the DVD. It's a good idea because it's the best version. The only reason for putting both versions on the disc seems to be to fill up the unecessary space on the disc. However, this isn't what bugs me.
What bugs me is the announcement of 8 hours of special features. I'm rarely interested in special features. Especially 8 hours of them. It's simply not worth it! Let's see what they are offering:
"140 minutes of behind the scenes video and multimedia galleries"
Yeah, multimedia galleries means trailers and pictures. Not interested.
I might be interested in "behind the scenes" footage, but I'd rather skip to the highlights. I don't want over an hour's worth of them.
"storyboard-script mode"
This is where they show me the storyboard or the script rather than the moving picture isn't it? I can't imagine anything more pointless.
"quizzes"
Oh dear.
"bd-live games"
Oooh bd-live, what's that? Let's see what we can find out...
It goes on the internet and... FREE RINGTONE! Oh how exciting! And more trailers. Will wonders never cease?
The BD-live games are apparently so uninteresting that the salesman very nearly doesn't mention them. Apparently they are free games that are on the Blu-Ray disc that you play over the internet presumably with your Blu-Ray remote control with someone who has the exact same movie in their player. Considering the quality of movie cash-in games out there, I'm not expecting much from a little mini-game extra on a Blu-Ray disc.
and more!
What, you mean there's other stuff that was so unimpressive you didn't even mention it in the trailer?
